$ Git magazine is waiting for me to write smth

Question

I suppose this is a really stupid question, and I'm sorry about that, but I don't know how to fix it and what I should do.

I never used a version control system, so I started reading the Git documentation. But I ran into this problem: when I execute $ git log , it gives me a " : ", and it waits for me to do something, but I don’t know what and how to get back and write a new command. It also says: "There is no next tag (press RETURN), but I don’t know how to click it: (Please help, because now the only way to continue is to close bash after each $ git log ... And sorry again for stupid question.

Answer 1

Press q . You have entered pager output ( less or more ), but with empty text.

Answer 2

Note. If you want to avoid pager options, you can do:

 git --no-pager log 

On the git page:

 --no-pager 

Do not upload git output to a pager.
